Heimke, Gerald E. (? - 13 JUN 2013)
Gerald Eugene Heimke, formerly of Granton, Wisconsin, passed away on June 13,
2013. Gerald was the son of Hans and Lillian Heimke. After attending Romadka
School, he was employed at several farms in the area and worked in Menominee,
WI, in this occupation until he retired to live near his brother, Harland in the
Houghton, Michigan area.
Gerald was quite active in his retirement and
was well known as a very social man with lots of friends. He would not pass up
an opportunity to spring one of his many jokes on someone who just joined the
conversation and always enjoyed a healthy laugh. He spent many hours using his
tinkering skills to rejuvenate old electronic equipment and was always proud to
show off what he had recently fixed.
Gerald was preceded in death by his
father, Hans, his mother, Lillian, and his brother, Harland. He is survived by
his sister, Lil Filegar, sister-in-law, Kathy Heimke, several cousins, one
nephew and four nieces.
A graveside memorial service will be held at the
Zion American Lutheran Church cemetery in Granton, WI. on July 2nd at 2 p.m.
The Pearce Funeral Home in Lake Linden, MI, is assisting with arrangements.
